Semantic Segmentation on MIT ADE20K dataset in PyTorch

This is a PyTorch implementation of semantic segmentation models on MIT ADE20K scene parsing dataset (http://sceneparsing.csail.mit.edu/).

ADE20K is the largest open source dataset for semantic segmentation and scene parsing, released by MIT Computer Vision team. Follow the link below to find the repository for our dataset and implementations on Caffe and Torch7: https://github.com/CSAILVision/sceneparsing

If you simply want to play with our demo, please try this link: http://scenesegmentation.csail.mit.edu You can upload your own photo and parse it!

All pretrained models can be found at: http://sceneparsing.csail.mit.edu/model/pytorch

Syncronized Batch Normalization on PyTorch

This module computes the mean and standard-deviation across all devices during training. We empirically find that a reasonable large batch size is important for segmentation. We thank Jiayuan Mao for his kind contributions, please refer to Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch for details.

The implementation is easy to use as:

Dynamic scales of input for training with multiple GPUs

For the task of semantic segmentation, it is good to keep aspect ratio of images during training. So we re-implement the DataParallel module, and make it support distributing data to multiple GPUs in python dict, so that each gpu can process images of different sizes. At the same time, the dataloader also operates differently.

<sup>Now the batch size of a dataloader always equals to the number of GPUs, each element will be sent to a GPU. It is also compatible with multi-processing. Note that the file index for the multi-processing dataloader is stored on the master process, which is in contradict to our goal that each worker maintains its own file list. So we use a trick that although the master process still gives dataloader an index for __getitem__ function, we just ignore such request and send a random batch dict. Also, the multiple workers forked by the dataloader all have the same seed, you will find that multiple workers will yield exactly the same data, if we use the above-mentioned trick directly. Therefore, we add one line of code which sets the defaut seed for numpy.random before activating multiple worker in dataloader.</sup>

State-of-the-Art models

Supported models

We split our models into encoder and decoder, where encoders are usually modified directly from classification networks, and decoders consist of final convolutions and upsampling. We have provided some pre-configured models in the config folder.

Encoder:

Decoder:

Performance:

IMPORTANT: The base ResNet in our repository is a customized (different from the one in torchvision). The base models will be automatically downloaded when needed.

The training is benchmarked on a server with 8 NVIDIA Pascal Titan Xp GPUs (12GB GPU memory), the inference speed is benchmarked a single NVIDIA Pascal Titan Xp GPU, without visualization.

Environment

The code is developed under the following configurations.

Quick start: Test on an image using our trained model

  1. Here is a simple demo to do inference on a single image:
chmod +x demo_test.sh
./demo_test.sh

This script downloads a trained model (ResNet50dilated + PPM_deepsup) and a test image, runs the test script, and saves predicted segmentation (.png) to the working directory.

  1. To test on an image or a folder of images ($PATH_IMG), you can simply do the following:
python3 -u test.py --imgs $PATH_IMG --gpu $GPU --cfg $CFG

Training

  1. Download the ADE20K scene parsing dataset:
chmod +x download_ADE20K.sh
./download_ADE20K.sh
  1. Train a model by selecting the GPUs ($GPUS) and configuration file ($CFG) to use. During training, checkpoints by default are saved in folder ckpt.
python3 train.py --gpus $GPUS --cfg $CFG 

For example, you can start with our provided configurations:

python3 train.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-mobilenetv2dilated-c1_deepsup.yaml
python3 train.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-resnet50dilated-ppm_deepsup.yaml
python3 train.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-resnet101-upernet.yaml
  1. You can also override options in commandline, for example python3 train.py TRAIN.num_epoch 10 .

Evaluation

  1. Evaluate a trained model on the validation set. Add VAL.visualize True in argument to output visualizations as shown in teaser.

For example:

python3 eval_multipro.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-mobilenetv2dilated-c1_deepsup.yaml
python3 eval_multipro.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-resnet50dilated-ppm_deepsup.yaml
python3 eval_multipro.py --gpus GPUS --cfg config/ade20k-resnet101-upernet.yaml
